Sean F6 365 Member 7 Member For: 16y 11m 22d Posted 11/01/08 02:45 AM Share Posted 11/01/08 02:45 AM Hey guys, Purchased a brand new manual F6 approx 6 months ago in red. Has been using 1 litre of oil every 1000kms... It's gone through 7 litres so far and counting... Has enyone else experienced similar problems? Ford tell me it's normal when brand new... Also considering Siemans Deka 630cc injectors and a flash tune. C&V Performance in Sydney tell me that's the best place to start with mods... Any thoughts?

I'm sure somebody else will confirm or deny this!I got my oil changed @ 3000km & then again @ 15.000km (silly, I know, but they told me it's all I needed) & I would have run dry several times over if I used as much as you!

Id take it to anther dealer and ask for a leak down test. Should tell you if your rings are shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should tell you if your rings are shotNo, I drove it pretty hard as soon as I picked it up thanks to an R33 GTR which pulled up next to me at the first set of lights out of the dealership... Had a WRX before the F6 so fried the tyres in first and second and went no where... Thanks, I'll take it back to another dealer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the smartest thing to do in a brand new car you should have run the engine in first.....you can always nail him later and I wouldn't be putting 1 mod on your car until this issue is sorted as you need new rings by the sound of it and this time run the engine in.We never used a drop between oil changes and 99% of us phoon owners ran the engine in first.
